The Story of Esther Costello (1957)
Eighteen-year-old Esther has been deaf and blind since the accident that killed her mother. Wealthy Margaret Landi, a native of Esther's village in Ireland, is persuaded to help educate and possibly heal Esther. Margaret grows to love Esther as a daughter, but finds Esther's innocence threatened by sleazy promoters and her own sleazy ex-husband.
